HOMER & JETHRO
I'M MOVIN' ON NO. 2
As recorded by Homer & Jethro
(To The Tune Of I'm Movin' On) Written by Hank Snow
The [D] old hound dog was feelin' fine
Till he fell in a barrel of [D7] turpentine
He's a-movin' [G] on, he's a-movin' [D] on
He [A] passed the gate, like an eighty-eight
He's a-movin' [D] on.
There was a smart guy from the city
And he picked up a stripe'd kitty
He's a-movin' on, he's a-movin' on
We held our nose, as we burried his clothes
We're a-movin' on.
I let a man work on my car
Then he grabbed a-hold of a spark plug wire
He's a-movin' on, he's a-movin' on
He turned it loose, when he felt the juice
He's a-movin' on.
The old Tom cat was a-feelin' mean
When he caught his tail in the sewin' machine
He's a-movin' on, he's a-movin' on
He ripped a stitch, when he hit the ditch
He's a-movin' on.
The old man's face got white as a sheet
When he slipped and fell in his cream of wheat
He's a-movin' on, he's a-movin' on
He flapped his ears, as he shifted gears
He's a-movin' on.
Uncle John got awful clean
When he fell into the washing machine
He's a-movin' on, he's a-movin' on
He couldn't straddle, that doggone paddle
He's a-movin' on.
We travel a lot to make our showin'
The way we sing we have to keep goin'
We're a-movin' on, we're a-movin' on
We've gotta go, here comes Hank Snow
We're a-movin' on.
